[QUOTE="dressedcheeseside, post: 318318, member: 77"] Normally, I like a late pitch by the qb, it forces the pitch key (OLB in this case) to commit and prevents him from making the play on the Aback after the pitch. But that's only if the pitch key is in proper position. Freeze the video at the moment Matthew pulls from the mesh and look at the spacing of the players. The pitch key is a good 2.5 yards away from the LOS and a good 8 yards away from Ike. Both players are at or about the right hash, so they have the same distance to run to sideline. Furthermore, Ike is already heading toward the sideline while that OLB (pitch key) is perpendicular to it. If Ike gets the pitch at this point, it's a footrace to the edge. With the spacing and body position I just mentioned, there's no way in hell that guy beats Ike to the sideline. In addition, because of the timing and spacing of the pitch relationship, Ike is not at full speed until after he receives the pitch. A sooner pitch allows him to accelerate to full speed sooner which prevents pursuit from catching up to the play. Another advantage of an earlier pitch is it gives Ike time to read the block by his OT on the safety. He can see that the safety has contained the edge and that he has to cut inside that block.
